Creating A Creative Office Space You Will Use

How is your office treating you? Is it a great creative space? Taking a fresh look at your office space could change your productivity. So let’s let the inspiration take us in the direction of creating a creative office space you will use.

If you have to share a space with someone, this is a nice set up. Your own shelves, your own work space and a decent separation. I would prefer opposite sides of the room however, this is a space saver as well.

What I love about this space is the wood trim and the use of color.

Great details in the storage files, rug, window treatment and cushion. I can’t tell but perhaps the desk top is also green.

As a designer, my tastes change with a whim, so I could not commit to the counter top but everything else, amazing ambiance.

The chairs look sharp and comfortable!

This set up looks like a carpenter is needed. But again, built-ins really make your space functional as well as beautiful. The price is not likely as much as you are imagining.

I just told you how much a dramatic ceiling has me and this one does not disappoint. Regardless that I live in the Midwest, I am all about a coastal vibe. As I write at the moment in my.bedroom, I have a Pelican print, shutters, Tommy Bahama furnishings all set in a spa blue room.

This art wall leaves me forgetting what I said earlier about wanting some books. I love every cubby and everything on display. For me, inspiration rides a very high second to functionality. I would just put books somewhere else in this room because this space inspires my creativity.

I have to talk about the wallpapered back to the shelves. I love that. I have used contact paper to accomplish a similar vibe in my basement which I should share with you all before we move.

I think the rug is fabulous, I would just prefer that it was a room size so there was something for my feet too.

I can’t imagine in my life needing two chairs for meetings, so I think a chaise would be perfect for the times I want to stretch out and read or write without sitting straight up.

Another dramatic ceiling and the contrast with the entire room painted in such a great blue is simply stunning.

Not only floor to ceiling windows, I think their may be a door too.

Pocket doors, great chairs, the storage is great. My only drawback here is the middle of the bookcase seems like wasted space. This is the perfect spot for a Murphy bed. I will be showing those in an upcoming post.

Does everyone have a secret yearning to be a famous novelist? Or is it just me?

This treasure of an office is what I would imagine for myself when I need a writing retreat. The deadline is looming and I just need to get away from the distractions of my home, off to that secret place where everyone leaves you alone.

Surrounded by the leather and smell of the books and that chair.

An expandable table for research books to pile high and yet have room to work.

I am still contemplating what my office space will be in our new home. We have moved it to the loft area to be shared only now and then with guests staying over who may want some private space to watch television or read.

I have not yet decided whether to use my cottage style furniture or go for a writing desk. I am working on my mood board and will share it once I feel like I have settled on the direction which is the first hurdle. The second one will be finding what I want for less should I choose a certain direction.

I hope you stay tuned for that and please share your comments, I truly love to interact with you and hear your dilemmas…they actually give me ideas for future posts. So let me solve your problems by posting them in the comments.

Thank you Shweta. I recently moved and am still setting up my new office space. I didn’t purchase anything new but used things from other rooms to accomplish my task. Once I get my boxes unpacked I will give a quick tour.
